Am I indoors, or out?" It's heartening to know that the rapprochement between the two spheres has settled Misshavishamly upon Taliesin, even as the immaculate sparkle of Johnson's house ripples throughout his estate.<br /><br />I still say, Lucky You.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-8290229866263315122010-10-10T01:18:16.144-04:002010-10-10T01:18:16.144-04:00Actually, yes, it was a good (but very hot) day at...Actually, yes, it was a good (but very hot) day at Taliesin West. I had been there once before, 10 years ago, and I would swear that hardly a pebble was out of place from the first time I saw it. The place requires constant repairs (after all, this was a Wright creation), and the staff are not really big about dusting things.The Slabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050248485626005052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-88001873266190162552010-10-09T18:24:19.653-04:002010-10-09T18:24:19.653-04:00YESYESIVAN TERESTCHENKOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645127001113853537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-29491947428633167262010-10-09T06:04:54.373-04:002010-10-09T06:04:54.373-04:00Luckiest youyou!

Johnson (with whom, you know, FLW enjoyed a public sparring for years, but private mutual respect) spoke phenomenally well of the experience of arriving at TW, which I expect to discuss soon enough.

I will not say, for many it is their one opportunity to shine in the pursuit of surfing; I will not say this at all. But that it gathers support for the practice, I shouldn't doubt, and such encouragement can only be for the good, yes?Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-73820753457673968132010-10-08T13:50:36.080-04:002010-10-08T13:50:36.080-04:00The hut might be a van first, for the time being i...The hut might be a van first, for the time being it's still a car.
